A Story of Hard Work and a Passion for Travel “Our first office was so tiny that if you took a step backwards, you fell down an open hole that was stairs to the basement. Now we are a worldwide company with offices in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.” – Alice I. Sullivan, Chairperson of the Collette Board.Collette is about family As his family grew, Dan’s children took on active roles in the company – in sales, tour development, marketing, tour guiding, and in its charitable arm. Working with a team of dedicated employees, they all stayed true to the original vision of expanding travel opportunities for everyone. That tradition continued as Dan’s eldest child, Dan Sullivan Jr., took the reins as President and CEO in 1990 and the company flourished. Collette_HQ_380x250_v2 The third generation of Sullivans entered the company in the early 2000s, and in 2018 Dan Sullivan Jr.’s daughter, Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, became President & Chief Customer Experience Officer. In 2023, after she successfully steered Collette through the global pandemic, Dan proudly turned the CEO role over to Jaclyn and transitioned to Executive Chairman of the Board. Mrs. Leibl-Cote is only the 4th CEO in the company’s history and its first female leader, making Collette one of the rare companies successfully transfer to the 3rd generation of leadership.

There was nothing that I would complain about! Touring the BBC was wonderful. I greatly enjoyed the Tina show. I'm glad to have seen castles, palaces and churches that I had only heard about in the past. Having unscheduled time so I could do a solo visit to the Churchill War Museum was also a plus.

Lorraine was amazing. So funny, helpful, and full of knowledge. I had a couple experiences I enjoyed the most. One would be the Tina Turner musical and the other would be the Tower of London tour.

Great value, great guide and bus driver, great agenda. Loved the high tea; disappointed in the choice of the play we attended. So many Broadway shows and although the actors were good, thought the play was a little on the community theatre side rather than Broadway quality.

Everything was very organized and we didn't have to worry about a thing, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and went out of her way to include everyone even the two young boys on the tour.

I enjoyed all the tours. Ann Carr, our tour manager, was extremely knowledgeable. She was attentive to our needs, and went above and beyond her duties to ensure all of us were taken care of. I liked home-to-airport and back home transportation.
